Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, benefits are above average. Good group of experienced line workers mixed with new hires. Supervisor is outstanding on my off shift.

Cons

Certain managers like to blame everybody else instead of looking in the mirror and realizing they are the problem or causing the problems. Minimal to no communication from managers to floor supervisors/team leads and employees. Worked nearly 7 days a week for years...overworked.

Business Outlook

Pros

- benefits packages are competitive - adequate 401(K) options - strong sense of community with other line workers

Cons

- misinformed / uncommunicative managements - rapid turnover rates / misleading overtime pay opportunities - workers are requested to work long hours with breaks being ignored due to extreme heat conditions and air quality - lack of consistent manpower has lead to rapid turnover and hostile work environments - workers were laid off with no notice / hours were reduced with less than 48 hours notice. - unorganized training and skill matrices - low moral due to workers feeling ignored, and are afraid of retaliation from floor supervisors.
